Hi everyone! I’m very sorry for my silence for a while. I’ve moved countries! It was a big ordeal and I’m still getting used to everything, but I want to make sure everyone gets their rewards for your overwhelming support!
The goods are still being shipped from the US, so don’t worry. Shipping estimates are still the same. I’m getting everything in order right now, but I wanted to reassure everyone that I could never forget about you <3
These are turning out so great, sorry for the manu photo quality! The show globe and two headed calf are particularly turning out exactly how I wanted. The show globe looks so much better than the original design, they knocked it out of the park.
I have more pin progress pics to share today, but first:
I have been told that pins are almost complete, so I'm hoping they will arrive with me sometime between late August to mid September! :)
Due to this, I'm going to be locking orders! Everyone has one last chance to edit their order before it's locked. You'll likely receive an email from BK that your order will be locked within 48 hours- that will be your final warning in this regard!
I am NOT charging for shipping/add-ons just yet! I will do that closer to when they are in my possession. I'll make another update when that time has come!
I hope everyone is excited to receive their dragon pins!! ^^
With that aside, here are some more pin progress pics!! Note: the eggs pictured still need screenprint, so the branches will come soon.
EGGS! Glad these turned out okay in the end since they gave me so much trouble during proofing (my fault haha). They just need to be screenprinted and they'll be ready to go!
annnnd babies! Little jar babies look like they may be ready to go- I'm just double checking a couple things with them, first. :)
Just wanted to come in with a short update! All of the pins and the stickers have arrived, I'm just about finished grading everything and then we're only waiting on keychains to get in. Here's a peek at few of the pin designs:
I'll be sending out a notice to charge cards in the next few days, so be on the lookout for that. I think that's everything for now! If you're interested, I've got another pin campaign coming up in September - check it out!
A few days ago we received the pins for Midnight Festival 2, and now that a lot of our duties for the recently launched Mini Myconids campaign has been taken care of, we took some time this weekend gather photos and counts.
There are unfortunately a couple things that will keep us from fulfilling orders yet, but I'll save those to be detailed down below - now is the time to look at pretty pins!
Standard Pins
Mini Pins
OG Pins
And Now, Delay Details
We have unfortunately uncovered two issues with the products we've received so far; The first, and most disruptive is that the Holographic effects that were used for the Bake Kujira Returning Backer sticker made the entire sticker hard to discern and illegible - too bright and distracting on an otherwise dark background. The resolution is that that sticker is being remade with solid holographic effects instead of the more splotchy effects that we received. The second issue may have already been sussed out by our most perceptive backers who noticed we didn't include the Ningyo colorway. While we did receive those pins with the rest of them, our manufacturer unfortunately forgot to do their UV printing, making them look more like a platinum ogon koi rather than the calico goldfish we were aiming for ;> Those are also being remade.
Had we had only one of these issues we likely would have gone forward with shipping, but with the two combined we're planning to wait for sake of simplicity and to lessen the likelihoods of mistakes made during the fulfillment process. We apologize for the delay, but we hope you're pleased with how lovely the execution for the rest of the pins turned out!
Our manufacturers have been hard at work getting the pins prepared from this awesome project that you all helped to make real! We wanted to share some photos that they had sent us as production steams ahead ;>
